Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Pulled with forearm injury
Rotowire
Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left forearm soreness, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Sanchez made it through only two innings before exiting the game, during which he gave up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters. It's currently unknown if his injury will prevent him from making his next start, though two days off in the next week for Philadelphia will give the 28-year-old southpaw extra time to recover.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Nearing rehab assignment
Rotowire
Manager Rob Thomson said Tuesday that Marsh (hamstring) will likely begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Marsh has been sidelined for nearly a week due to knee/hamstring issues, but he was able to run around the bases Tuesday without any problems. Now that he seems to be recovered, the plan is for him to rest Wednesday before heading to one of the Phillies' minor-league affiliates to play in a few rehab games. Barring any setbacks, he seems to be on track to return from the IL when eligible Sunday.
Nola (0-5) allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over 6.1 innings Monday, striking out six and taking a loss against the Mets.
Nola gave up a leadoff homer to Francisco Lindor and a solo shot to Jesse Winker in the second inning. Nola didn't run into any more trouble until the seventh inning when he put two runners on base and was charged with both runs after being removed from the contest. It was his longest outing of the year and just the second time he completed at least six frames. Nola has produced an unsightly 6.43 ERA with a 31:11 K:BB through 28 innings. He's currently lined up for a road start against the Cubs this weekend.

Phillies' Bryson Stott: Rips ninth-inning homer
Rotowire
Stott went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's loss to the Mets.
Stott was 1-for-4 with a single before hammering a clutch three-run shot off of Edwin Diaz in the ninth inning. However, it wasn't enough to complete the comeback and the Phillies fell 5-4. Stott snapped a 17-game homerless drought with his second of the year. He's slashing .295/.356/.449 with 13 RBI and seven extra-base hits through 20 games.
Phillies' Jesus Luzardo: Strikes out seven in no-decision
Rotowire
Luzardo did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning loss to the Marlins, allowing two runs (one earned) on eight hits and no walks with seven strikeouts over seven innings.
Luzardo was fantastic against his former team, needing just 88 pitches to complete seven frames while generating 17 swinging strikes. The southpaw has now yielded three earned runs or fewer in each of his five starts with his new club. On the season, he owns a 2.08 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 36:7 K:BB across 30.1 innings and lines up for a road matchup with the Cubs next weekend.
Realmuto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
The absence breaks a run of eight straight starts for Realmuto, who went 6-for-30 with a double, a homer, three RBI and 12 strikeouts during that span. Rafael Marchan will step in behind the plate as Realmuto gets a breather.

Phillies' Cal Stevenson: Joins big-league club
Rotowire
The Phillies recalled Stevenson from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The 28-year-old missed out on the Opening Day roster but is up with Philadelphia on Sunday as Brandon Marsh (hamstring) lands on the injured list. Stevenson had a .708 OPS in 18 games across a couple regular-season stints with the Phillies last season, and he isn't likely to have a significant role while up in the majors this time around.

Phillies' Brandon Marsh: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
The Phillies placed Marsh on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to April 17, due to a right hamstring strain, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.
The outfielder sat out the previous three games after tweaking his knee Wednesday against the Giants, but the hamstring issue is what prompted his move to the IL. Marsh is 0-for-31 with 11 strikeouts and five walks in his past 14 contests, and the injury could provide him with an opportunity to regroup. Johan Rojas should see the bulk of the playing time in center field, though Cal Stevenson was also called up Sunday.
Phillies' Johan Rojas: First three-hit game of 2025
Rotowire
Rojas went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's win over Miami.
Saturday marked the first three-hit day of the campaign for Rojas, who doubled to lead off the third inning and later came around to score the first run of the game. Brandon Marsh is still tending to a knee injury, so Rojas should continue to see extra action in center field and experience a short-term boost in fantasy value until the former is healthy. Through his first 33 plate appearances, Rojas is slashing .345/.406/.414 with two doubles, four RBI, five runs scored and three stolen bases.

Phillies' Alec Bohm: Extends hitting streak to six games
Rotowire
Bohm went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's win over Miami.
Although it's still been a quiet start to the season overall, Bohm is beginning to pick things up at the plate lately. The corner infielder is riding a modest six-game hitting streak, during which he's batting .304 (7-for-23) with two doubles, three RBI, three runs scored and one stolen base. Bohm has struck out just three times during this stretch and entered Saturday's action with an elite 34.1 percent squared-up rate, per Statcast, so fantasy managers should remain patient with the 2024 All-Star.

Phillies' Jordan Romano: Tagged for six runs in ninth inning
Rotowire
Romano gave up six runs on six hits (two home runs) while recording two outs Saturday against the Marlins.
Romano was brought in while the Phillies nursed a comfortable 11-4 lead in the ninth inning, but he managed to let the Marlins right back into the game. He gave up consecutive hits before Dane Myers lifted a three-run homer, and Graham Pauley then doubled to plate another run. Finally, Liam Hicks tagged Romano for a two-run blast before the right-hander was mercifully pulled. Romano's showing could drop him even further down Philadelphia's bullpen pecking order, as he's now allowed 13 runs over his first 7.2 innings of the year.

Phillies' Trea Turner: Leads hit parade Saturday
Rotowire
Turner went 4-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-10 win over the Marlins.
The Phillies didn't hit a home run on the afternoon among their 18 knocks, but six different players recorded multiple hits, which was led by Turner's four. The shortstop has had a sluggish start to the season at the plate, but he's more than capable of turning things around quickly. Through 19 games, he's now slashing .257/.337/.351 with one homer, five steals, six RBI and 12 runs.

Phillies' Jose Alvarado: Needed for save Saturday
Rotowire
Alvarado recorded the final out of Saturday's 11-10 win over the Marlins to pick up his fifth save of the season.
The Phillies took an 11-4 lead into the ninth inning, but Jordan Romano served up two homers en route to giving up six runs in two-thirds of an inning, forcing Alvarado into the game to clean up the mess. The southpaw needed just two pitches to get Xavier Edwards to line out to right field. Alvarado has been dominant to begin the season, going 5-for-5 in converting save chances while posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB through 9.2 innings. While the Phillies have plenty of high-leverage options in the bullpen, Alvarado appears to have a lock on the closer job for the moment.
